'Killer bees' is really the wrong name, they should really be called Africanized bees because they are the result of a cross between some African queens and western honey bee drones. They are not killers, the sting of an Africanized bee is no worse than the sting of a western bee. The problem with them is they tend to be less docile and more prone to sting, hence their reputation.

As far as adaptations are concerned, Africanized bees are very little different from western bees. They are the same size and colouring. There is a slight difference in the veins in the wing, but looking at one bee is not enough to tell, you have to take measurements of a large number of bees and statistically analyse the results to see a difference.

The only definitive way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.

Yellow is a color that attracts bees the most. So the color is one adaptation. The tepals form a great landing pad for the bees to land on and then crawl into the center of the flower. The center of an iris is darker. It is like a bulls eye for the bee to follow to the pollen.

Why do bees see ultraviolet light?

Bees see ultraviolet light because their vision is adapted to help them locate flowers, which often reflect ultraviolet wavelengths. Many flowers have patterns or markings in the ultraviolet spectrum that are invisible to humans, guiding bees to nectar and pollen sources. This adaptation enhances their foraging efficiency and plays a crucial role in pollination, benefiting both the bees and the plants they pollinate.
